Constructions
Along”

Plans concerning the new Char
lotte coliseum are “moving right
along,” according to assistant City
engineer, Ken Gillis.
Construction ol the $41.5 million,
25,000-seat coliseum is scheduled to
begin in January 1966. Presently,
. says Gillis, Turner Construction, the
project managing company, is pre
paring for site grading of the area
^off. Billy Graham Parkway, where
the coliseum will be built.
“Site grading or timber cutting to
clear the site for the coliseum should
. begin soon," reveals Gillis. He adds
that the first bid packages, open to
_all contractors, will begin to’ be
advertised in late November or
marly December. Richard Mitchell,
> project manager with Toner Con-.,
struct ion, declined to give any specf
**
fc There waa some concern recently
when it was learned that a change in
plan necessitated that the coliseum
be built 10 feet higher on a hill than
originally proposed. The reason (or
the change, says Gillis, was to avoid
having to blast more rock on the site.
“It’s saving us a couple 9100,000,”
claims the assistant City engineer.
“The building will not look any
different,” Gillis assures. “We’re
just taking less off the top of the
hill.”
The coliseum will be built inside a
hill on 100 acres of property with its
parking lots radiating out on a
steeper grade because gf the
change.
Gillis also mentions that Turner
Construction is operating “right on
budget.” Withstanding any future
“slight” design changes, predicts
Gillis, the coliseum should be com
pleted on schedule, the first part of
1908.

I Moses fe Hwpy And
Contented Golden Bull
By James Cuthbertson
Post Sports Writer
When Charlotte native son
Reginald Hughes Moses decided to
play basketball in college it was a
major decision for him.
Conferring with his parents, he
looked at all the alternatives and
decided that the backdoor was the
best route to take this time, put on
his sneakers, polished up his jump
shot, tightened his defensive skills
during the summer and trotted one
mile down the street from his home
to Johnson C. Smith University,
where he is a happy and content
Golden Bull.
“I feel that we are going to be all
right this year,” he said, flashing a
wide smile and adding that “We are
going to take it all. Our prac
tices have been very exciting. We
run hard everyday.”
The theme of the 1965-86 Golden
Bulls is ABLAZE IN BRAYBOY and
the name of that game is to RUN
AND GUN the opposition right out of
the fiery inferno on the east end of
campus with some hot shooting and
tenacious defense.
“In my role as a small forward, I
will have to help on the rebounding,
play tough defense and score,” said
Moses. He averaged 11 points and
five rebounds per game last year,
cutting loose one night against St.
Augustine's for 24 points and five
rebounds.
The junior banking and finance
major says the goal of the team is to
win it all. That means the CIAA
Reginald Moses
.Promising small forward
Basketball Championship. That
would make a lot of local people
happy because it would be a first for
the Golden Bulls.
Coach Moore has helped Moses to
mature into a contender for All
